runadrum Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Details on PokerPlayer magazine website :- PokerPlayer Championships 2008 PPC 2008 For the first time ever PokerPlayer is coming to a town near you! We’re hitting the road so don’t miss out! How do you fancy being crowned PokerPlayer Champion 2008, taking home thousands of pounds for your efforts on the baize, and pocketing a swanky trophy plus seat to the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final worth £3,000? That’s what’s on offer as we hit the road for the inaugural PokerPlayer Championships, a series of juiced live events exclusively for PokerPlayer readers. We’ll be in attendance at every event, watching over proceedings, and making sure the best of the action makes it into the magazine. It’s guaranteed to be the friendliest, best value series of tournaments this side of poker heaven. The 2008 PPC consists of five regional tournaments, with a £50 (plus £3.50 booking fee) buy-in, and a grand final for the five winners and two online qualifiers. Win any of these tournaments and you’ll pocket the lion’s share of the £5,000 guaranteed prize pool, along with a stunning trophy to show your grandkids and a seat at a future leg of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour, worth £1,060. You’ll also progress to the sevenhanded live final where you’ll play for a £2,500 prize pool and a seat at the GUKPT Grand Final, courtesy of BlueSquarePoker.com. Of course, we’ll also follow your progress in the GUKPT final, and (hopefully) chronicle your historic victory in these pages.

PokerPlayerDave Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Re: PokerPlayer Championship 2008 - Bolton Tickets Booking Now - GUKPT Added Value Hi all Glad to see you all got tickets. I think we're going to reach capacity (there were 8 seats left this morning) but even if we didn't the prize pool would be guaranteed and the GUKPT seat still added. I'll be up there on Saturday, nursing a hangover, and watching with envy from the rail. See you there, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPlayerDave Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: PokerPlayer Championship 2008 - Bolton Tickets Booking Now - GUKPT Added Value Hi all, We've sent out an email requesting player's names for the PP Championships in Bolton on Saturday. If you bought a ticket(s) could you email me the name(s) of the player(s)? If you've already replied to the email, ignore this. It's just to get as many people registered in advance as possible to save time on the day. [email protected] See you all there on Saturday, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: PokerPlayer Championship 2008 - Bolton Tickets Booking Now - GUKPT Added Value Cheers Dave Will any of the PP lot be playing? Also....what was the thinking behind having Hillys tour on the same day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPlayerDave Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: PokerPlayer Championship 2008 - Bolton Tickets Booking Now - GUKPT Added Value Hi Morl, We've banned ourselves from playing unfortunately. I didn't think it would look good if we set up a value tournament and then announced in the mag, 'and the winner of the first PokerPlayer Championship and the GUKPT seat is... me!' (Even though the chances of that happening are as remote as Jerry Yang winning the Main Event again.) And the Hilly tour was just a case of lack of dates. We've got five of these and five of Hilly's tournaments and we've got to fit them all around our deadlines. Still, bust out of Bolton and you'll be able to tear across (up? down?) to Harrogate in time for the evening. See you Saturday, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPlayerDave Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Re: PokerPlayer Championship 2008 - Bolton Tickets Booking Now - GUKPT Added Value The casino's open from midday, and although the tourney starts at 2pm it might be good to get there by 1pm to make sure everyone's registered in time.
